Just after I sent last week’s newsletter I hopped on a nine-and-a-half-hour Air New Zealand flight to London. Since the Rugby World Cup had just ended in Auckland, Air New Zealand had to add an extra flight, so instead of flying one of their new plush 777-300s we were on one of their older 747-400s. [...]
On the way to LAX last Friday evening, the sun started to peek through the rain-filled clouds and a double rainbow greeted Angelinos! It was the first time I’d ever seen one of these in L.A. and because of its auspicious timing, I found myself hoping it was a sign of what’s to come. The [...]
Greetings! If you are following me on Twitter and Facebook, then you know I’ve been to Europe and back this past week.I will tell you about my incredible three-country hop in the next couple weeks.

I got invited to be a guest of Air New Zealand to pick up their first of five new 777-300ER aircraft at the Boeing plant outside of Seattle. I know! How amazing is that? It’s been a dream of mine to get a behind-the-scenes tour and Air New Zealand and Boeing made it a reality. [...]

Security Check at Boeing When we entered the property [...]
Greetings from Southern California! So I needed to be back home in Los Angeles for an important meeting and to catch the Manhattan Beach Open. Instead of taking Alitalia’s nonstop service from Rome to LAX I went through London on two UK-based airlines, British Airways (BA) and Virgin Atlantic. Yeah, I know, two of the [...]
Last week we left off after I landed in London from an Air New Zealand flight. Passport control and customs took no time at all, though it was a long walk from the gate. If Renaissance Hotels, who brought me over the pond, hadn’t arranged a car service for me, I definitely would’ve taken Heathrow [...]
Kia orana from the Cook Islands! Those of you who know where these spectacular islands are located will realize that I’m in paradise.
